摘要
This article addresses the need for culturally centered prevention programs that are designed to address the challenges that contribute to the disproportionate victimization and incarceration of young African-American males. There is a discussion about three factors that may predispose these youth for social problems. The article includes recommendations for culturally centered prevention interventions that address the identified predisposing factors. (C) 2004 by The Haworth Press, Inc. All rights reserved.
